I use it for programming questions.

  • immediate replies so I don't have to switch tasks while praying for an answer

  • no suggestions that I just do the whole thing differently

  • infinite patience

Don't forget the other benefits of using AI for programming:

  • It may make up shit that doesn't exist or just give you wrong syntax

  • It will give you the same wrong answer repeatedly until you get irritated and it hangs up on you

  • Is way too goddamned excited while giving you shit answers until you run out of patience

I like using it for help, but goddamn do I want to throw my laptop out the window some days.

💯. Although sometimes I feel like berating the AI is more satisfying; it's all his fault I haven't solved this yet!
